Hi all,

My family has for a long time used Hamam soap, besan or green gram dhal powder for babies. My son would turn pink with either besan or green gram dhal powder. So I used a small quantity of Hamam which worked best.

My brother-in-law who is a pediatrician often said \";Hamam does not do anything great neither is it harmful. It just cleans.\";

For the first month I only used warm water for his bath and it was fine. I was asked not to use powder since it can enter the airways. If you wish you can try pure cornstarch powder (available in J&J in US), far away from the face.

Hope this helps. I am sure the members living in India will have a wealth of info.
